Drying a Normal Towel Faster With Clothes Pins

The more the surface area is exposed, the faster it will dry. When doubled over the rod the surface area is decreased.

You can purchase fast drying towels, actually any cheap Chinese nylon towel wil dry very fast, the problem is they do not dry your body well. I carry a large towel, I often have to walk to a share shower, so I need to cover my body.
